Boating and fishing in Waddenland
Ahoi! In Waddenland, there are a lot of great places to take to the water and cast your rod. Sail right through a piece of UNESCO World Heritage or meander with the water through the Groningen landscape. On the water, you will experience the most beautiful adventures. Ride the waves and enjoy the Groningen water.
Wadden Sea
The Wadden Sea is a unique piece of Groningen nature. The sea was formed during the last ice age and is home to many special animal species. Various species of birds live here, while seals and many types of fish swim around. When you take your boat out into the rough sea, you might even spot a seal. A trip on the Wadden Sea is always a special experience.

Lauwersmeer
Besides being able to take on the wild waters of the Wadden Sea from Lauwersoog, it is also possible to sail the fresh water of the Lauwersmeer. From the water of the Lauwersmeer, you can explore this special nature reserve. There are several marinas on the Lauwersmeer. Use the recreational jetties as a home base for several day trips or moor here briefly for a stopover ashore.

Zoutkamp
Until 1960, Zoutkamp had a large fishing port, but when the Lauwerszee was closed off, the village lost this important position. The village still has the look and feel of an old-fashioned fishing village, thanks to its monumental locks and still-used old inner harbour. It is therefore an excellent place for an afternoon of sailing and fishing.

Reitdiep
Between Lauwersmeer and the city of Groningen, the Reitdiep meanders through the Groningen landscape. The Reitdiep connected Groningen to the open sea. It is one of the oldest cultural landscapes in Europe. As you float on the water in your boat, you can still see the old riverbeds in many places along the waterfront, for example around the Oude Diepje near Winsum. Today, many of the areas around the Reitdiep are also set up as nature reserves.
Marenland
Near cosy Winsum, you will find Marenland Recreatie. A lovely place to enjoy yourself along the water. At Marenland, hire a canoe or take another boat to discover Winsum from the water. You'll discover why the village was once voted the most beautiful village in the Netherlands. Optionally, you can sail much further into the Groningen landscape. You can also enjoy yourself around the water here in other ways. Take a seat on the terrace at De Jongens uit de buurt or spend the night in one of the hiker's huts by the water.
